Samsung Captivate Glide Review
Share:
Photo enthusiast will surely be content with the quality provided by the handset’s 8-megapixel auto-focus camera, since they are similar to the results we find with Samsung’s Galaxy S II line. Of all things, macro shots look absolutely gorgeous, but outdoor shots fare equally well with their average details and correct but saturated color production. However, shots taken under low lighting suffer from noticeable digital noise that soften its overall appearance – albeit, the LED flash appears to be most effective with shots up to 5 feet away.

When it comes to playing music, it follows in similar fashion to what we’ve seen already with other devices with its conventional presentation – yet, we wholeheartedly adore the visualization and extensive equalizer settings available with it. In complementing its functionality, audio quality from its speaker is robust with its strong tones, and at the same time, doesn’t sound distorted at the loudest volume setting.

Much like any device out there with some sort of AMOLED panel, our eyes are strapped in for a visual treat – and rightfully so, that’s what we get with the Captivate Glide. Aside from the flowing nature exhibited by the handset as it plays our video encoded in DivX 1920 x 1080 resolution, there’s plenty of sharp details and robust colors to accompany the visual feast.
Storage is undeniably miniscule with the handset, as we’re given only 3.75GB of free storage with another 1.83GB reserved for system storage. Fortunately, you can supplement that capacity by adding microSD cards up to 32GB in size into the unoccupied slot.

if you're not getting LTE coverage i would trade it for either this or the Galaxy S II.

I would keep the Skyrocket. You're going to have lte before your contract expires, assuming you got a 2yr contract.

Does this have that ugly Pen Tile display on it?

Well, Yes for Pentile... But NO for UGLY... I have used Photon4G before... Its high resolution screen sux with Pentile-LCD... But the beautiful AMOLED reduces the ugliness of Pentile Matrix...
Imho,
SAMOLED+ > SAMOLED(Pentile) >= SLCD_RGB >>> LCD_Pentile...
